I have two knobs, and one faucet, in my bathroom sink. Both hot and cold slowed to a dribble at the same time. I was brushing my teeth, hot water running, then heard a "pop" sound and the water immediately slowed to a very small stream. I turned it off then on, and tried the cold water, but both seem to have been affected. No other sinks/faucets in the house seem to be affected. We have two sinks and faucets in our master bath…only mine was affected.
Filter screen is clear. And it's not like it slowed gradually over time, but all at once after the pop sound I heard.
Thoughts?

OK...I'm embarrassed. I know I said it wasn't the filter, because every three months I take of the filters and clean them with vinegar.
I went ahead and took out the aerator assembly, and there was what looked like very thin plastic stuck in the hole in the center, blocking all water from coming through.
A few years ago I saw similar material in my shower faucet when I was replacing it.
All I can imagine is that some type of coating is flaking off from the PVC pipes (house is 15 years old). Is that possible??
Thanks to all for the responses...gives me some material for future issues as the home ages. :-)
